In Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai visited the site of last month’s US bombing that killed some ninety Afghan civilians. An estimated sixty children were killed in the attack. The US maintains the death toll is lower and that most of the dead were militants. Karzai was met with an angry crowd demanding justice for the killing. Karzai said he had tried to curb US air strikes.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai: “I have been working day and night over the past five years to prevent such incidents, but I haven’t been successful in my efforts. If I had succeeded, the people of Azizabad wouldn’t be bathed in blood.”
